The FOIA by Judicial Watch was to the State Dept. which explains their lawyers. Not sure why DOJ is in the room.

The aides of been put in the position of either admitting guilt or lying. If they lie, the FBI has them. So they avoid answering.

I think your analysis is spot-on.

Clinton is going to try and say Pagliano wasn’t an employee but an independent contractor doing unauthorized work.
If he was an agent and Her Thighness was his principal, she could be responsible for any actions by him within the scope of his employment.
There’s a legal test to determine whether someone is an independent contractor, but I thought this was settled, that he was on her payroll, an state dept. employee.
If this is an affirmative defense, it doesn’t look like much.

Yeah, I did some reasearch. Pagliano was with the Information Resource Management Bureau and left the State Department in 2013.
He failed to report income from Hillary on State Dept. financial disclosure forms for work she paid him to do, so that’s prolly where they are going, hanging it on the guy with immunity: “Our client depended on Bryan completely, why, she didn’t even know to have an e-mail password.”

Why would they give him immunity?
Because ‘they’ are the Justice dept.

Pagliano was given immunity. It is understandable that Mills’ lawyer does not want to have her give any responses to questions dealing with him. They don’t know what Pagliano has said to the FBI in return for immunity. Mills could be charged with perjury or obstruction of justice if she says the wrong thing.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

We have a winner.

I'm still not convinced that the FBI isn't going to cover for hillary by letting Pagliano skate, even if he gives them essentially nothing. Normally, when immunity is granted, the granting party already knows almost everything he's going to say. I don't think that is true in this case. He may well have sold them a pig in a poke, and they'll let him, because:hillary.

The evidence is overwhelming that Comey should recommend an indictment, but the real question is will the FBI meet this titanic test of integrity and the Rule of Law or will the Clintons once again elude accountability for their actions? If the FBI fails the test, then the veil will be lifted on the extent of the corruption and rot that permeates the highest levels of our government, including the career bureaucracy. In sum, the country is finished because equal treatment under the law has been destroyed and is irretrievable.

Like I’ve said many times before, there only two types of Clintonite loyalists—those who have been rat-f@cked by the Clintons, and those who will.

Someday, these felonious enablers will get what’s coming to them—when their usefulness is done... The Clintons will come to collect their due... Think the ending of the movie ‘Ghost’... dark shadows... Ah, the inevitable destiny of every Clinton collaborator.

The Clintons are too late. Pagliano agreed to spill his guts in return for immunity. Now that the FBI has the facts from Pagliano they’re in the process of comparing the other aides’ testimony to Pagliano’s. The aides of been put in the position of either admitting guilt or lying. If they lie, the FBI has them. So they avoid answering.

Yep - Judge Napolitano laid it out yesterday - the sand is crumbling away from her feet in buckets now and she may very well be taken down despite everyone's best efforts to save her.

He said he really expected it to be covered up/swept under the rug, and gone by now but it keeps getting worse for her - especially with so many public lies mixed in with the "private" lies .... now that the MSM has no choice but to cover it, has been attacked over it's dishonesty and political bias (GO Trump!) by so many of late, and needs to try to claw back to a "respectful" profession/service, they may end up having to sacrifice her.....

POINTS TO PONDER

<><>State Dept personnel under Hillary may be facing charges of misleading a US court WRT the court's request for documents...and for tampering w/ evidence.

<><> And what of Bill's culpability? The first server Hillary used was the one in their Chappaqua house for Slick/s use when he left the White House......against the advice of Slick/s people.

<><> At some point Hillary went from Chappaqua to a server managed by an outside company. Pagliano probably had some involvement in the migration (if not sole responsibility).

<><> Hillary obviously had to keep her multiple pay-to-play Foundation business off government computers. Fortunately whether it was Pagliano or someone else, the file deletion/wipe was less than professional.

<><> Pagliano’s dual role as: 1) a tax-paid US government employee, and, 2) Hillary's personal employee, opens a whole new arena for investigation.

<><> What was Pagliano’s day-to-day State Dept job? What did he actually do, not just his job description, but actual work accomplishments? Is there a paper trail showing he did any actual work at all, or was the State “job” just a make-work position to get him on the tax-paid payroll in return for his services to Clintons?

<><> Pagliano listed himself on LinkedIn as a political-appointee saying he “Serves as strategic advisor and special projects manager to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Deputy Chief Information Officer (DCIO) overseeing the operations of the Information Resource Management (IRM) bureau.”

<><> Pagliano being employed, by his own admission, at such a high level inside State’s IT structure assures that State’s most senior info officers knew about Clinton’s email setup, and apparently did not, or were not, able to stop it. Unless Brian never told his supervisor about his "other" job.

=============================================

And what abut Sid Blumenthal? He had inside govt info and was constantly in touch w/ Secy Hillry.

<><> For public consumption, Sid was beng touted as a Clinton Foundation hire---the factotum hired to preserve Bill's pesidential legacy (cue laugh machine).

<><> Sid's emails show he had classified info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA).

<><> Blumenthal was urging Hillary to bomb Libya b/c he had profit-making business interests predicated on a new Libyan govt.

<><> Sid also used scare tactics----that Obama would lose reelection if they didn't bomb Libya.

Hillary passed on this information to Obama.....did he know it came from a person he banned from govt employment?

CHERYL MILLS SHOULD HAVE TO ANSER FOR THESE ACTIVITIES

<><> Cheryl Mills rejoined the board of the Clinton Foundation in 2013, after Hillary exited State.

<><> Mills currently runs the BlackIvy Group, a consulting firm that focuses on dirt-poor Sub-Saharan Africa.

<><> Did Hillary’s State Dept grant Cheryl Mill’s BlackIvy Group tax monies?

<><> did any of the Sub-Sahara groups receive foreign aid grants from Hillary’s State dept?

<><>Did any of the Sub-Sahara countries listed below donate to the Clinton Foundation

<><> Did Mill’s BlackIvy Group donate to The Clinton Foundation?

<><> Did the Clinton Foundation partner w/ BlackIvy Group in “humanitarian” sub-Sahara projects?

SUB SAHARAN AFRICA—— African Union Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Cameroon Congo (Brazzaville) Congo (DRC-Kinshasa) Ethiopia Ghana Guinea Ivory Coast Kenya Lesotho Madagascar Malawi Mauritius Mozambique Namibia Niger Nigeria Rwanda Senegal Sierra Leone South Africa Swaziland Tanzania Togo Uganda Zambia.

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

<><> TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW HOW MANY GOVT PAYCHECKS MILLS WAS POCKETING

<><> IS CHERYL MILLS STILL ON THE PAYROLL COLLECTING US GOVT PAYCHECKS (an old bureaucratic trick)?

MILLS IS A BUSY LITTLE BEAVER---The hydra-headed Cheryl Mills is (1) Hillary's COS, (2) Clinton Foundation employee, (3) Hillary campaign factotum, (4) Hillary's counsel, and, (5) runs a development company in Sub-Sahara Africa.

Mills is perennial govt parasite leftover from the Clinton admin---lives in Washington, DC, with her domestic partner, David Dominici, and their two children, Lucca and Indigo.

David Dominici designed the Nebraska school program, and became the founding Principal of the school, called the Maya Angelou Academy. He started his first nonprofit, DCWorks, at the age of 22.

I’m not sure that Bentel would add much light on the subject. He was most likely told by upper management to drop it with being told why.
